Track 1 awards must be interdisciplinary and potentially transformative. They generally support a single investigator or a small team, with a maximum award size is $1,000,000 and maximum duration of five years. Track 2 awards fund mid-scale research projects and can request budgets up to $3,000,000 over a duration of up to five years. Director&#8217;s Awards are prestigious individual awards of up to $1,500,000 to single-investigator proposals that present ideas for interdisciplinary advances with unusually strong, exciting transformative potential.<\/p>\n<p>All three types of awards require letters of intent.
